They want almost $1 trillion valuation for a business that has never made money, is uncertain when/if/how it will, has yet to make a plausible case for how its product benefits customers/businesses/society, and they're burning creative industries, job security, information, and the world for it.
OpenAI is seeking new capital from investors capable of valuing the startup as high as $830 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.

“What if someone adds a bad actor in disguise to the Signal chat” is a *social* problem that *literally cannot be solved by any messaging app*.
i can confirm the chats I’m in which include renowned security specialists - people who actually advise on how to protect your comms from authoritarian dictators for a living - also think this outburst of paranoia about Signal is really weird and unwarranted
every Signal chat of laypeople is losing their minds over the wildest opsec advice imaginable and every Signal chat of security professionals is like “dude wtf”
The vast majority of problems can be avoided by not being foolish, being aware of your surroundings, and using common sense

After years of home-brewing, the one thing I haven't been able to come up with is by far the most mundane:
What do humans get?
Aarakocra having wings, talons, distinct visual acuity? Makes total sense to me. Easy to come up with.
Ordinary human beings?
I'm STRUGGLING

This whole business with cops reminded me of the fact they've tried to hit me with cars like 5 or 6 times over the past two years.
And I mean accelerating to run a red light when they saw me cross, type of attempt.
Veering off an empty road and onto a sidewalk where I was walking with a friend.

For the first time I've got even a glimmer of understanding of how 'creators' can simply have ideas for dozens of articles or videos ready to go.
I started on a list of pitches for blog posts, and I surprised myself with the sheer volume of them I had built up over the years.

The hardest but most fun aspect of world building for me is distilling the ideas I have in order to make it digestible to others.
The way it works in my head is like 'chunking' in neuroscience (apologies to the experts) where a series of numbers becomes easier to remember when you group them.

For those not versed in activism, I cannot impress upon you the impact of the fact that ICE has killed two legal observers.
I am trained as a legal observer and have been present as one at many actions. The role of an LO is to be a non-participant at the action, to observe, and to document. 🧵

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Searching for resources on medieval city and town fortifications.
I've been relying on Castles by Sidney Toy -which has been fascinating- but I'm hungry for something with more of a focus on the fortification of settlements.
Where do I even begin? (・_・;)

Gotta say, this is the closest to the video games Lara Croft has looked thus far 🤷
